Some do. A few high performance jet aircraft have a movable wing, called a "swing wing" At low speeds the wing is straight out, but at high speeds the wings fold back. A helicopter is an airplane- a "rotary wing" aircraft. The rotor is not a propeller, but wings that are moved through the air. The wings of regular aircraft also move some- they flex up and down as loads change.
